About the Experience:

Adventure for 6 People


We offer fun excursions from a well-equipped and comfortable pontoon boat for the purpose of seeing the sights and taking us to our kayaking destination. We’ll meet at the premises of Atlantic Yacht Basin where there is sufficient parking for everyone and a wonderful place to gather and board the pontoon boat.  We’ll discuss safety and kayaking techniques before we board the boat. Life jackets and kayaks will be available for all participants.  Also, we’ll provide water and a granola bar-type snack.

We’ll leave Atlantic Yacht Basin and catch the Great Bridge Bridge opening and then enter the Great Bridge Locks. Once in the Great Bridge Locks, the Lockmaster will secure the boat and begin equalizing the water. Inside the lock system, the water should be at the same level as the other side of the locks with the use of gates and valves.

Once the Lockmaster gives us notice to proceed, we’ll cast off and leave the Locks and cruise to the original “natural” part of the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River which is a few hundred yards past the Locks.  At this point, we’ll begin our kayaking adventure and anchor and set up our equipment for safe boarding onto the kayaks.

We’ll paddle pristine waterways with beautiful grasses and shorebirds feeding along the banks. It’s not uncommon to see an eagle in flight or perched in the tall pines.
